+Accessing site settings
+=======================
+
+In PHP you can access the :php-short:`\TYPO3\CMS\Core\Site\Entity\SiteSettings`
+from the :php-short:`\TYPO3\CMS\Core\Site\Entity\Site` object via
+`getSettings()`. (See

+Site settings in Extbase Fluid plugins
+--------------------------------------
+
+At the time of writing site settings are not available in Extbase controllers or
+plugins unless they have been passed on to the plugin settings via TypoScript
+or made available in the controller.
+
+To make the site settings available to all templates in your controller
+you can override method `AbstractController::initializeView()` and assign
+the site to the view:
+
+..  literalinclude:: _Settings/_ExampleController.php
+    :caption: EXT:myvendor/my-extension/Classes/Controller/ExampleController
+
+You can then use the variable `{site.settings}` to access the site settings:
